Sòm 71
1 Nan Ou, O SENYÈ, mwen te pran refij. Pa janm kite mwen vin wont.
In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.
2 Nan ladwati Ou, delivre mwen e fè m sekou. Panche zòrèy Ou bò kote m e sove mwen.
Deliver me in thy righteousness, and cause me to escape: incline thy ear to me, and save me.
3 Devni pou mwen wòch abitasyon mwen an, kote mwen kab vini tout tan. Ou te pase lòd pou sove mwen, paske Ou se wòch mwen ak sitadèl mwen.
Be thou my strong habitation, to which I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me; for thou [art] my rock and my fortress.
4 Delivre mwen, O Bondye mwen, nan men a mechan yo, Fè m sòti nan ponyèt a malfektè a ak san pitye a,
Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
5 Paske Ou se espwa m, O SENYÈ Bondye, Ou se konfyans mwen soti nan jenès mwen.
For thou [art] my hope, O LORD God: [thou art] my trust from my youth.
6 Pa Ou menm, mwen te twouve soutyen depi lè m te fèt. Se Ou menm ki te retire mwen nan vant manman m. Tout tan se Ou menm ke m louwe.
By thee have I been sustained from my birth: thou art he that brought me into life: my praise [shall be] continually of thee.
7 Mwen parèt kon yon mèvèy pou anpil moun, men se Ou ki fò refij mwen.
I am as a wonder to many; but thou [art] my strong refuge.
8 Bouch mwen plen avèk lwanj Ou ak glwa Ou tout lajounen.
Let my mouth be filled [with] thy praise [and with] thy honor all the day.
9 Pa jete mwen akote nan tan vyeyès mwen. Pa abandone mwen lè fòs mwen vin febli.
Cast me not off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength faileth.
10 Paske Lènmi m yo te pale kont mwen. (Sila) k ap veye pou pran lavi m yo ap pran konsèy ansanm,
For my enemies speak against me; and they that lay wait for my soul take counsel together,
11 Y ap di: “Bondye fin abandone li. Annou kouri dèyè l, e sezi li. Paske nanpwen moun ki pou delivre l.”
Saying, God hath forsaken him: persecute and take him; for [there is] none to deliver [him].
12 O Bondye, pa rete lwen mwen. O Bondye m, fè vit a sekou mwen!
O God, be not far from me: O my God, make haste for my help.
13 Kite (sila) ki advèsè a nanm mwen yo vin wont e manje nèt. Kite yo kouvri avèk repwòch ak dezonè k ap chache blese mwen.
Let them be confounded [and] consumed that are adversaries to my soul; let them be covered [with] reproach and dishonor that seek my hurt.
14 Men pou mwen, mwen va kenbe espwa m pou tout tan. Mwen va bay Ou lwanj plis toujou.
But I will hope continually, and will yet praise thee more and more.
15 Bouch mwen va pale ladwati Ou, ak sali Ou tout lajounen, menmsi mwen pa kab fin konnen fòs valè tout jou sa yo.
My mouth shall show forth thy righteousness [and] thy salvation all the day; for I know not the numbers [thereof].
16 Mwen va vini ak zèv pwisan SENYÈ Bondye a. Mwen va pale ladwati Ou, sèl de Ou menm.
I will go in the strength of the Lord GOD: I will make mention of thy righteousness, [even] of thine only.
17 O Bondye, Ou te enstwi mwen depi jenès mwen. Jiska prezan, mwen toujou deklare mèvèy Ou yo.
O God, thou hast taught me from my youth: and hitherto have I declared thy wondrous works.
18 Wi, menm lè m vye ak cheve blanch, O Bondye, pa abandone m, jiskaske mwen fin deklare fòs Ou a jenerasyon (sila) a, ak pwisans Ou a tout (sila) k ap vini yo.
Now also when I am old and gray-headed, O God, forsake me not; until I have shown thy strength to [this] generation, [and] thy power to every one [that] is to come.
19 Paske ladwati Ou, O Bondye, rive jis nan syèl yo. Ou menm ki te fè gwo bagay yo. O Bondye, se kilès ki tankou Ou menm?
Thy righteousness also, O God, [is] very high, who hast done great things: O God, who [is] like to thee!
20 Ou menm ki te fè m wè anpil twoub ak gwo pwoblèm, va fè m viv. Ou va mennen mwen monte soti nan fon tè yo.
[Thou], who hast shown me great and severe troubles, wilt revive me again, and wilt bring me again from the depths of the earth.
21 Ke Ou fè lonè mwen vin plis e vire ban m konsolasyon ankò.
Thou wilt increase my greatness, and comfort me on every side.
22 Konsa, mwen va louwe Ou avèk ap la pou fidelite Ou, O Bondye mwen. A Ou menm, mwen va chante lwanj avèk gita, O (Sila) Ki Sen an Israël la.
I will also praise thee with the psaltery, [even] thy truth, O my God: to thee will I sing with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.
23 Lèv mwen va rele ak jwa lè mwen chante lwanj a Ou menm pou nanm mwen ke Ou te rachte a.
My lips shall greatly rejoice when I sing to thee; and my soul, which thou hast redeemed.
24 Lang mwen, anplis, va pale ladwati Ou tout lajounen. Paske yo wont, yo imilye, (Sila) ki te chache fè m mal yo.
My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long: for they are confounded, for they are brought to shame, that seek my hurt.
